[00:19.555]Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
[00:22.298]I must find the way to power through a noble brow
[00:25.300]I married once for love then m-y senses came
[00:27.796]I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
[00:30.550]Onto marriage number two
[00:32.047]I knew what I had to do
[00:33.557]and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two
[00:36.307]Solved problem number one now to problem number two
[00:39.547]His doe-eyed little girl with g-entle point of view
[00:42.056]Would I ship her off to school?
[00:43.308]No! I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep andso she became the maid!
[00:47.547]She was lazy! She was crazy!
[00:49.056]She was talking to the mice!
[00:50.555]She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price.
[00:53.549]I moved her to the attic o-u-t of sight and out of mind.
[00:56.299]I could-have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind.
[00:59.509]Mother your heart's too big for you!
[01:05.001]I knew what I had to do
[01:09.251]After all difficult children will take advantage of your good na-ture!
[01:14.255]So you lock them up
[01:16.007]Throw away the key!
[01:17.749]There's one on every family tree
[01:20.258]Ungrateful!
[01:20.999]Hateful!
[01:21.755]Vile too! The things she put you through!
[01:26.003]Break their spirit so they obey
[01:28.756]Now they'll do anything you say
[01:31.506]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[01:34.501]others would call it love
[01:36.510]Though Love!
[01:39.007]I ask you is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?
[01:42.002]Oh no they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just..
[01:46.506]ruin e--verything!
[01:48.760]I never wanted children
[01:50.001]life was better on my own
[01:51.256]all the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone!
[01:54.251]But then one day I came across a fl--ower growing free
[01:57.001]It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me!
[01:59.754]But someone dug it up now a b--aby held the power
[02:02.505]So I "borrowed"her and locked her up and hid her in a tower!
[02:05.501]Year---s went by oH! The sa-crifice!
[02:08.253]and against my better judgment I fed her once or twice.
[02:11.188]Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young!
[02:13.895]But that's messy!
[02:14.638]Manipulation's easily more fun!
[02:16.891]A little guilt a lot of force of course you have to lie!
[02:19.641]remind them ---that without you they'd shrivel up and die!
[02:22.636]They only have themselves ---to blame!
[02:27.885]If you'd been there you'd do the same!
[02:33.643]So work them hard 'til they fall in line!
[02:36.896]There's one way and it's only mine!
[02:39.645]Children are lazy!
[02:40.889]Spoiled too!
[02:42.141]But we know what to do!
[02:45.137]Govern them with a heart of stone!
[02:48.144]Lock them up so they're all alone!
[02:50.885]Maybe you'd call it cruel but
[02:53.635]others would call it love tough love!
[02:56.888]Ugh! Her own tower with a water view and she runs away the first chance she gets!
[03:02.145]These wretched brats think the world owes them something.
[03:05.885]But it doesn't
[03:07.394]Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
[03:10.390]but there was more I had in mind a greater plan.
[03:13.385]I never cared to share. So the king would have to fall
[03:15.893]But his ch-ild blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"
[03:18.889]She was chubby. She was dumb and grotesquely optimistic
[03:21.638]She needed structure in her life! She wasn't realistic!
[03:24.391]I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy
[03:27.387]but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!
[03:30.393]Love?! Was I to just sit by and wait for her to take my crown? NO!
[03:34.584]She had sealed her fate!
[03:35.839]She had to go and so she did and you know what they say
[03:38.590]“An apple once a day keeps your enemies away”
[03:41.830]Don't be fooled= by their tender smile!
[03:47.334]Give an inch and they'll run a mile!
[03:55.831]Our idea of a happy home
[03:58.582]Is one where we live all alone!
[04:01.589]Dark. Depressing. Desolate!
[04:04.085]Now let's all drink to that!
[04:07.081]Call us "wicked" and call us "mean"
[04:09.834]“Cruel”and everything in between.
[04:12.829]You could say it's unjust!
[04:15.579]Turning their dreams to dust!
[04:18.332]This is what we call love
[04:21.340]Tough Love!
